Abstract

Recent disruptive events, such as the Covid-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine and climate change, have intensified the process of ‘deglobalization’ of food consumption. As a result, consumers now prefer locally sourced products. To understand the change in sustainable food consumption in certain countries, this paper analyzes data from a broad survey conducted between 2020 and 2022, during and after the Covid-19 pandemic. The primary goal is to describe an emergent “new normal” culinary ethics based on a preference for regional cuisine, environmental protection and a commitment to health. The analysis compares consumption patterns in Italy and the United States to explore the role of cultural contexts with different but comparable values and principles. Both exploratory and confirmatory factor analyzes are applied to the two subsets of data, drawn from a large survey conducted in 20 countries with nearly 7000 participants, as well as the invariance of their structural parameters through multigroup analysis.

意大利和美国消费者饮食行为近期变化的比较分析：意大利制造市场及其因子概念化

最近发生的一些破坏性事件，如 Covid-19 大流行病、乌克兰战争和气候变化，加剧了食品消费的 "去全球化 "进程。因此，消费者现在更喜欢当地采购的产品。为了解某些国家在可持续食品消费方面的变化，本文分析了 2020 年至 2022 年期间（Covid-19 大流行期间和之后）开展的一项广泛调查的数据。主要目的是描述一种新出现的 "新常态 "饮食伦理，其基础是对地方美食的偏好、环境保护和对健康的承诺。分析比较了意大利和美国的消费模式，以探讨具有不同但可比的价值观和原则的文化背景的作用。探索性和确认性因素分析均适用于两个子数据集，这两个子数据集来自于在 20 个国家进行的一项大型调查，有近 7000 人参与，并通过多组分析对其结构参数进行了不变性分析。

期刊介绍： Studies directed toward the more effective utilization of existing resources, e.g. mathematical programming models of health care delivery systems with relevance to more effective program design; systems analysis of fire outbreaks and its relevance to the location of fire stations; statistical analysis of the efficiency of a developing country economy or industry. Studies relating to the interaction of various segments of society and technology, e.g. the effects of government health policies on the utilization and design of hospital facilities; the relationship between housing density and the demands on public transportation or other service facilities: patterns and implications of urban development and air or water pollution. Studies devoted to the anticipations of and response to future needs for social, health and other human services, e.g. the relationship between industrial growth and the development of educational resources in affected areas; investigation of future demands for material and child health resources in a developing country; design of effective recycling in an urban setting.
